Racial idealism
@10:01 PM
Perhaps it was an aftereffect of reading the entire transcript for the National Day Rally speech. Or maybe it was because I had been struck time and again at how violently and irrationally racial politics have been played out in the course of American history.
While I was standing in the MRT today, I just can't help but be struck by the many nationalities that were standing there amiably. Caucasian, Malays, Chinese, Indians and Filipinos stood in almost equal proportions. It is a sight that bears testimony to the idealism of racial harmony that Singapore has upheld from its creation.
